Surface Duo 2 not getting good reviews but I still feel Microsoft has a good idea. When Google comes out with its two-screen OS I think Microsoft will have better software two work with. I Hope Microsoft staying with the Duo, the 3rd will be a charm.

it would've been awesome if you could have the dock showing al the time at the bottom even if you're in an app, that would be a killer multitasking feature

Hopefully the build quality aroudn the USB-C port has been improved alot. Still frustrating that Microsoft still have unpolished issues at launch, even after installing the update. Though at least it is already way better in terms of stability and reliability than the first launch of Surface Duo. So that is a huge improvement at least.

The lack of Fluent animations seems a bit jarring after getting used to Windows 11.

Great review! I still luv my 1st Gen Surface Duo! but I'm sure 2nd gen is gonna be great too!

I really do believe that this could beat out the concept of foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold range. The middle region is getting so thin to a point that the two glass screens and the ability two have just one good sized screen is better than having a delicate folding phone with 2x the amount of cameras and engineering.

Unfortunately I don't think any of the other reviewers have understood who this device is for and what the needs are for this user. They seem to be stuck in some influencer world where we just be playing games and snapping photos all day. This is a productivity phone and as such has a huge appeal. Many hours a day are spent on teams calls and slab phones are not ideal for these, your screen becomes unusable for anything else, dual screen solves this. Working from home, we have a laptop and not some mega screen setup, this device allows to present while having notes and chat open on the phone to engage and better present. Man I could go on and on. This is one small example upon many. Anyways I think they need to step out of their current situation, speak to people who this is actually meant for and base the review upon that.
I believe Windows central still understand that so look forward to the full review.

At 7:45, "My Goodness! You could kill somebody with this." Zac identifies new feature of SD2.

This will be the perfect replacement for my dead v50

still looks 2016 tab-ish, if they make the bezels look thin it will be looks awesome tho

[MeatNinja]

6:56 OMFG the first thing we see is you trying to swipe down the notification center but getting the search bar instead. What a massive let down right there, that shit has been a problem on Duo since day 1 and they still haven't changed it! Sad!

After folding it completely the camera bump hits, what if you press in the corner, or seat on it, will it break or crack the screen?

[Nighthawk-]

Thank you for the unboxing I'm definitely getting the surface duo 2 I'm patiently waiting for the price to go down

[velocity]

Excited to get my has on the Duo 2, hopefully the weak USB port surround has been strengthen.

[ManBehindTheBurger]

prob one of the most interesting devices there is

Wondering how they intend to handle the Android 12 update if the software isn't quite ready for 11 still. My pixel 4 is fully updated to 12 as of the last day or two. But I've also submerged it in takeout ramen the week prior so looking for a new phone soonish and was hoping to see MS release something that was a bit more polished and ready. Still feel burned after my L950 never even got what felt like finalized software.

[serapim]

no bumper ? The original duo had one included in the box

[slomojo]

Premium fragility. Hmm learning something new every day. :-)

[pinoyako]

I love my surface duo 1 I wish the camera was better. But as a work phone it definitely make things more efficient

[markb]

I hope Microsoft make it better next year.
